Getting Run ID of Manually Invoked Workflow Using REST API

[ke4ktz]

I am writing an automation routine that will include manually running a GitHub Workflow. I need to monitor the status of the workflow and download the logs once it’s finished.

Everything is fairly straightforward. The only missing link in the chain is how to determine the run ID for the workflow that I just invoked. There is no information that comes back from the REST API call (/repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/workflows/{workflow_id}/dispatches endpoint) in either the body or the headers that gives me that information, or provides any key that would allow be to obtain that information.

There needs to be some sort of feedback (body or header) information that can send the run ID of the workflow run back to the caller.

Looks like they don't support using the email address anymore. The support page doesn't contain any links to anything that allows me to "officially" submit a request. @isaacs, you are my only hope! (Apologies to Princess Leah.)
